How it works

  1. Initial creative consultation: We jump on a call to discuss your brand goals, the Nairobi event location, and your target audience to design a bespoke activation concept.
  2. Design and stencilling: Our artists create custom sketches and high-precision laser-cut stencils of your logo and brand elements to ensure perfect brand alignment.
  3. Site preparation: On the day, our team arrives early at your Nairobi venue to set up protective flooring, 'invisible' spray zones, and all necessary equipment.
  4. Live demonstration: We kick things off with an energetic live mural painting session to grab the attention of passers-by and build excitement.
  5. Guided participation: Your guests are invited to grab a can! Under the guidance of our pros, they learn techniques like fading, outlining, and filling.
  6. Collaborative masterpiece: Together, we create a massive work of art that incorporates your brand message and the creative input of your community.
  7. Photo ops and social sharing: We create a 'wow' moment perfect for Instagram and TikTok, encouraging guests to share their creations and tag your brand.
  8. Safe pack-down: Once the event concludes, we handle all the cleanup, leaving your Nairobi venue exactly as we found it.

Practical details

Our brand activations are designed to be seamless and high-impact. A typical session lasts between 2 and 4 hours, but we can provide full-day coverage for large festivals or multi-day launches. We provide everything: premium low-odour spray cans, protective gear (suits, gloves, masks), and professional-grade canvases or temporary walls. Safety is our priority, and we ensure all areas are properly ventilated and protected from overspray. Whether you have 20 VIP guests or 2,000 festival-goers, we provide enough artists to keep the energy high and the paint flowing smoothly! 🛡️🎨

Pricing

Every brand activation is a unique piece of work, just like our art! Prices depend on your group size, the duration of the event, and the specific setup requirements (like custom-built walls or branded merchandise).

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti brand activation safe for our guests?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary FFP3 respirators, gloves, and protective suits for all participants. Our Nairobi-based artists are experts at managing event crowds, ensuring everyone stays safe and clean while they unleash their creativity. We also offer water-based paint options for indoor activations where ventilation might be more limited.

How far in advance should we book our event in Nairobi?

We recommend booking your Nairobi brand activation at least 3-4 weeks in advance, especially during peak event seasons. However, we have a large network of professional artists across Kenya and can often accommodate last-minute requests. Because we have backup artists on standby, we can guarantee your event will go ahead even if an artist falls ill—providing you with total peace of mind.

What kind of surfaces can we paint on during the activation?

One of the best things about a graffiti activation is the versatility! We can work on large-scale temporary wooden walls, stretched canvases that you can keep for your office, or even live-painting on promotional items like sneakers, tote bags, or laptop covers. If you have a specific idea for your Nairobi launch, just let us know and we’ll make the magic happen.

Do our guests need any prior artistic experience?

Not at all! Our professional graffiti artists are there to coach your guests every step of the way. Whether they are seasoned creatives or have never held a spray can in their life, we ensure they feel confident and have a blast. We often use pre-prepared stencils of your brand assets to ensure the final result looks polished and professional regardless of skill level.

What group sizes can you accommodate for a brand activation?

The beauty of graffiti is its scale! We can facilitate everything from intimate VIP sessions for 10 people to massive, high-traffic activations at festivals or malls where hundreds of people contribute throughout the day. For larger events in Nairobi, we simply scale up the number of artists and materials to ensure every guest gets hands-on time and personalised attention.

What is your cancellation policy?

We understand that plans can change. That’s why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy and don't require upfront deposits for most bookings. This gives you maximum flexibility while planning your marketing calendar. If you need to reschedule your event in Nairobi, just give us as much notice as possible and we will work with you to find a new date.
